    We love each of you dearly, just as we loved Eddie. We grieve the loss of him on this earth but are so grateful that his suffering, which he endured so Christ-like, is done. He was an awesome man, friend and mentor. He was blessed with the gift of helping others understand the Word. As you know better than anyone, Eddie was a very special person and had a deep relationship with Christ. We don’t think it a coincidence that God chose to take Eddie to his eternal home on Thanksgiving Day, since he was all about giving thanks to the Lord in praise and worship. This day will forever hold an even deeper meaning to us as this was the day Jesus chose to say, “Welcome Home my good and faithful servant”. May the Holy Spirit renew you with His peace that surpasses all human understanding and restore all of the fruits of the Spirit to their fullest in the coming days!

  43. Laura, Leigh, Walker and Ms. Sibbie, I am deeply sorry for your loss. I pray that you all would see your dad/husband in your day to day. If there is one thing I learned about him when we were in college it’s that he loved his family! I give thanks that he is no longer suffering but send my deepest condolences. I love you guys.

  44. I was saddened to hear of Eddie’s passing. We went to school together from 1st through 12th grade and even on to Chowan College. Although I had not seen him in a number of years, I remember him as a kind and genuine person. My condolences to the family.

  45. I remember Eddie when we were in High Shool. He was my school bus driver. He was a Senior and I was a Freshman. Eddie, was always a respectable gentleman. He loved the Lord even then. When he smiled, the room would light up. He had an anointing upon him to reach the masses and when he sang, I believed the Heavens rejoiced.
    Sibbie, please know that I will continue to pray for you and with you. Should you need any assistance, please feel free to contact me anytime. Always remember, “Weeping endureth for a night but JOY cometh in the morning” Until that great day when God cracks the sky. We will rejoice in the Lord forever and ever ❤️

  46. Sibbie, Jane, Peggy and family please accept my sincere condolences and prayers at this most difficult time. Eddie was a wonderful and caring man and will be missed by all that knew him.

  49. Mrs. Sibbie and Family,
    My name is Caroline Guard. I am the eldest child of Charles J. Guard, better known as “Jeff”. Daddy and Mr. Eddie’s friendship began in grade school and extended into their time at J.P. Knapp High school and beyond. As far back as I can remember, Daddy would tell stories… Me and Eddie Griggs… Me and Eddie Griggs you should of seen this play.. it was perfect.. He threw it right too me. Mr. Eddie was the quarterback and Daddy was his running back. They not only shared a passion for sports, but also hard work and their family’s. Mr. Eddie spoke at Daddy’s funeral in August of 2020. I do not have the words to express what that meant to me. Mr. Eddie loved Daddy and Daddy loved him. It honored Daddy in a way that only a true friend could. Mr. Eddie’s words were such a comfort during my greatest time of need. I am forever grateful for the chance to know Mr. Eddie. He is a treasure and someone that I owe a huge amout of gratitude. He is at peace. And maybe he and Daddy are comparing stats now. My thought and prayers are with you and your family.

  50. Sibbie, May you and your family find peace in this time of sorrow. Prayers that you and your family are blessed to share all your good memories as you gather this first Christmas after Eddie’s passing.

Edward W. Griggs, Jr.

November 24, 2022

Edward Walker Griggs, Jr. passed on to his eternal home on November 24, 2022 at his home in Point Harbor. “Eddie” as he was best known throughout the Currituck community was 66 and bravely battled pancreatic cancer.

Eddie was born and raised in Point Harbor, he was the son of Edward Walker Griggs and Grace Wright Griggs. Eddie graduated from J.P. Knapp High School, and briefly attended Chowan College. He spent his career in the family business, Griggs Lumber Company, until retirement in 2014. His love of boating led him to get his captains license and work on-call for Tow Boat US, assisting boaters in distress and salvaging sunken vessels. 

Eddie was an honest and humble man, a friend to everyone he met. He was well-known and respected in the community, he loved Currituck County and Point Harbor in particular. 

He was a naturally talented musician. He enjoyed singing, playing the guitar and piano, along with several other instruments. Music was part of his worship and ministry to others. He was involved in church worship for many years, as well as Prison Fellowship ministry. He was known for his steadfast faith in Christ, his Savior, and for his kind and compassionate spirit.

Eddie loved sailing, boating, fishing, gardening, playing sports and running. He enjoyed sharing and instilling a love for these same values in his family. He was a loving husband and father, and the anchor of the family in many ways. He cherished family history and collected photographs and stories that he loved to share with others. In retirement he helped his wife and daughter run a business in the house that was built by his great grandparents.

Eddie is survived by his loving wife, Sylvia “Sibbie” Johnston Griggs, his three children, Leigh Griggs, Laura Vucetich and her husband Rodrigo, and Edward “Walker” Griggs and his wife Loren, two grandchildren, Leo and Arlo Vucetich, and two sisters, Jane Brinkley and her husband Earl, Peggy Wright and her husband Ric, as well as a number of nieces, nephews, cousins and close friends. A celebration of life will be held Sunday, December 4th, 2022 at Sanctuary Vineyards in Jarvisburg at 2 o’clock pm.
